The boards stood out like a sore thumb, being asymmetrical and all. Everything else looked quite symmetrical to me. Very fine indeed. Thanks for the link. Ah...the good old days....of my dreams. If such was truly what was to be found, I'd most surely be, Maui bound.

Guys just want to have fun with girls who want to have fun with guys who want to have fun with......

I used to think having a windsurfing girlfriend or spouse would be awesome, but now it's way less desirable. (currently for me it's kitesurfing, but same debate).

Our sex life became proportional to the stoke level of her sesh, which was a direct translation of her mood.
-crappy sesh = no sex
-ok sesh = she needed to hit 24 fitness to feel satisfied, then too tired for sex
-good sesh = if clean the floor, and take out the trash, maybe sex
-great sesh = sex

basically it came down to "no stoke" or "low stoke" = BAD MOOD which had serious consequences for me. all you guys out there know about BAD MOODs of the significant other, right ?

Also, it meant less autonomy with my decisions to sail, no more "it's windy ... I'll go sail" it became, "huny, it's windy, can we go sailing ?"
if she wasn't available, then neither would sail, unless I didn't care about "the punishment".

the punishment was a combination of weapons she used, including no sex for an extended period.

if we did agree on a "sailing time" then I would normally have to wait while the wind cranked on, and then it came time for us to actually sail, the wind would invariably die, resulting in "no stoke", go to above to find out the consequences.

of course, I was ultimately responsible for :
(a) the maintenance and storage of her gear, any problems resulted in "no stoke"
(b) the transportation and rigging of her gear, again any problems resulted in "no stoke"
(c) making sure there were no problems while on the water, or "no stoke" would occur. even if I wasted my sesh to save her.
(d) derigging and carrying the gear to the truck. of course I could hope that she would help, but never could be any direct requests.

I should also note that my stoke level would never enter the equation. if I had a bad sesh, it had to be buried deep. Any negative vibe would diminish her stoke, which might translate to "no stoke", which again, I would suffer.

Finally we had to immediately depart for the next activity after sailing. No more hanging out with the sailing buddies to yack about the great sesh we all just had. NOPE ! it was off to 24 fitness, or cleaning the floor or food shopping, or a 5 mile run, or whatever. if the sailing sesh made a kink in her plans, well, "NO STOKE" would instantly occur.

beware my friends of desiring a sailing spouse or girlfriend. it could be the kiss of death.
